Might be related to this bug:
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=322760

AFAIK Mono does not load 2 different versions of libraries that are part
of the runtmime (basicly everthing that is Consts.FxVersion). Instead
it maps the assembly reference from 1.0.5 to 2.0 when the running
runtime is 2.0. I don't know why this is really needed, but that's the
way it currently is. So not sure if dropping the 2.0 libs would solve or
rather cause any issues ;)
